The original BLEU score fails for answers shorter than four tokens because the number of 4-grams is zero. Adding the use_effective_order parameter allows users to obtain scores by considering only n-grams up to the number of tokens in the answer when ( N < 4 ). This feature is already implemented in sacreBLEU, so we only need to add the parameter to the BLEU object in ragas. The default is set to False to maintain previous behavior.
